Traveler’s Notebook Sizes: Every Insert Size in mm and Inches
Every traveler's notebook insert size in mm and inches, which one suits you, how to measure your cover and how to print inserts at home.
The two original traveler’s notebook sizes are Regular, often called Standard, with refills of 110 × 210 mm, and Passport, with refills of 89 × 124 mm. Other common insert sizes follow paper sizes: A6 (105 × 148 mm), B6 (125 × 176 mm) and A5 (148 × 210 mm), plus the slim Personal and Weeks inserts.
You’ve found traveler’s notebook inserts you like, and then you see the size list: Standard, Passport, B6, A5, A6, Personal, Weeks. Which one fits your cover, and will it print properly at home? Here’s every common size, who it suits, and how to measure and print so your inserts fit the first time.
What are the traveler’s notebook sizes?
These are the insert sizes, meaning the pages that go inside. Covers are always a little bigger. Traveler’s Company lists its Regular size refills at 210 × 110 mm and its Passport refills at 124 × 89 mm. B6, A5 and A6 are standard paper sizes, and Personal and Weeks are the sizes of our own slim inserts.
| Size | Millimeters | Inches | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passport | 89 × 124 mm | 3.5 × 4.9 in | Carrying everywhere, quick lists |
| A6 | 105 × 148 mm | 4.1 × 5.8 in | Pocket planning with a little more room |
| Personal | 95 × 171 mm | 3.7 × 6.7 in | Slim daily or weekly planning |
| Weeks | 95 × 187 mm | 3.7 × 7.4 in | One week on two slim pages |
| B6 | 125 × 176 mm | 4.9 × 6.9 in | Daily planning that still fits in a bag |
| Standard | 110 × 210 mm | 4.3 × 8.3 in | The classic tall, narrow notebook |
| A5 | 148 × 210 mm | 5.8 × 8.3 in | Desk planning with the most room |
Which traveler’s notebook size should you choose?
Choose Standard if you’re not sure, Passport if it has to fit a pocket, and B6 or A5 if you write a lot each day.
- Standard (also called Regular) is the original size. It’s tall and narrow, so a week on two pages gives each day a long row.
- Passport fits a jacket pocket. It’s great as a second notebook for errands, habits or a trip, and a bit tight as your only planner.
- B6 is a good middle ground: wider than Standard, with room for a schedule and a to-do list on one page, but still easy to carry.
- A5 gives the most space. It suits a planner that mostly lives on your desk.
- A6, Personal and Weeks are lightweight options. A6 is a wider pocket size, Personal is slim and a little taller, and Weeks is tall and slim for a week on two pages.
I have ADHD, and busy, crowded pages don’t work for me. A few things a day, on a page I keep in sight, does. So if you’re torn between two sizes, ask yourself how much you really write on a normal day. Our guide on how to choose the best ADHD planner goes deeper into layouts.
What’s the difference between a Standard and a Weeks traveler’s notebook?
A Weeks insert is narrower and shorter than a Standard one. Our Weeks inserts are 95 × 187 mm, against 110 × 210 mm for Standard. They’re made for slim covers of that size. In a Standard cover a Weeks insert sits loose, so match the insert to your cover.
How do you measure your traveler’s notebook?
Measure an insert that already fits your cover, not the cover itself.
- Measure an insert, not the cover. Covers are bigger than the pages inside, so measuring the leather gives the wrong size.
- No insert yet? Measure the cover and look for the insert size that’s about 5 to 15 mm smaller in each direction.
- Check the height first. Width has some wiggle room, but an insert that’s too tall won’t let the cover close.
How do you print traveler’s notebook inserts at home?
Printable inserts are laid out as booklets on regular US Letter or A4 paper, with true traveler’s notebook pages on each sheet. I still plan on printed pages myself, mostly to-do lists and home pages, so this is the part worth getting right:
- Print at 100% (“Actual size”). Never choose “Fit to page”, or every page comes out too small.
- Print double-sided. No duplex printer? Print the odd pages, put the stack back in, then print the even pages.
- Trim along the crop marks.
- Fold the sheets in half together, with the first sheet on the outside.
- Staple along the fold with a long-reach stapler, or sew three holes, then slide the booklet under your notebook’s elastic.
- Test one sheet first to check the size and the double-sided setting.
- Use 80 to 100 gsm (20 to 24 lb) paper. Thicker paper is hard to fold into a booklet.
- A5 booklets need A4 paper. Two A5 pages side by side are wider than a US Letter sheet.
- Print shop? Bring the single-page file and ask for a saddle-stitched booklet at 100%.

Frequently asked questions
The Standard, or Regular, traveler’s notebook takes refills of 110 × 210 mm (about 4.3 × 8.3 inches). It’s the original tall, narrow traveler’s notebook size.
Passport refills are 89 × 124 mm, about 3.5 × 4.9 inches. Passport covers are a little bigger than that, because covers are always larger than the inserts.
B6 is wider but shorter. A B6 insert is 125 × 176 mm, and a Standard insert is 110 × 210 mm, so B6 gives more width per line and Standard gives more rows.
A5 booklets need A4 paper, because two A5 pages side by side are wider than a US Letter sheet. On US Letter, print the single A5 pages instead.
